LOVES SELFISHNESS.

His said true mother-love is selfish neveH
Counting itself supremely, fully blest
Though yielding, daring, suffering whatsoever
To gain for children all things pure and best
But after days and nights OF fevered pain
When we at length the dreamy death-gszs
see,
We care not that it rests on fower-decked
plain,
But cry ''oh. Lords take back this cup from
mel"
And that cry means: "Give back my babe to
mel
Turn back tho little feet to earth again!
can not yield her, Lord, not cen to Thee,
Though Life TO her means toll and sin and
pain.
~Leave her frail bark on lifes rough sea to tosst
Let IL not anchor yet on Heavens shorei
Leave her to earn her crown by heavy cross
Only that may call her mine once more"
Do then not cen the highest standard given
OF love on earth-e'en mother-love-is pure
From selfish faint, since back from peaceful
Heaven
Wed call our babes, lIfe's trials TO endure.

place literally full of the little sweet
seekers. They were everywhere. Not
a square inch of space where fingered
any atoms of the sweets manufactured
there but was covered by them. The
utensils used in the act came in for
especial favor. Pots, pans and ladies
could not be distinguished as such,
but presented the appearance of q
struggling, swaying brown mass, while
the noise they made was enough to
we could make. Those in the outside
shop were but skirmishers from the
army within. yet they served to make
things very lively for the proprietors,
who were at loss how to proceed.
Very cautiously l moved about, Civ

sired, for, after loading themselves
with all they could carry. in their en-
deavor to reach the outside and start
for the hive with their treasure they
would dart back and forth in the shop

suggestive of stings. So. leaving the

a whole swarm seldom makes a descent
upon a place at once; but let the strag-
gler get home to the hive with load
of sweets, and back he will come

is swarmed with them. Then the only
thing to be done is to close doors and

1859, from St. Louis, Mo, to Hen
derson, Jefferson County, n. Y.-a
distance in q straight line of S35
miles. He laid claim to 1850 miles,
by reason Of the many turns taken
during the tip, which took his bal
loon out OF direct course into circles
and curves This voyage is the long
est recorded in balloon history.
The balloon was in tie air over
night-a period of about twenty
hours. Prof. Wise tried more than
once, bat without success, to equal or
exceed the famous trip mentioned,
Finally, year ago, he left ST.
Louis in balloon on long trip.
for the last time He has never been
heard from. a reporter who went
with him was found dead some weeks
later on the shore of Lake Michigan.
Bv reason Of this and other disasters,

sense of the perils which attend
every attempt to stay in the air oyer

If Dakota is refused admission
into the union at the coming session
Of congr IS, it will be simply and
solely because Dakota promises to be
a reliably republican state. Last
year the aggregate vote for delegate
in congress was f04,S12. The state
Of Georgia, which furnishes ten mem
bers of the national house of repre-
sentatiyes, east, at the last congress
ional election, q ,-i30 votes in the az
gregate. Louisiana, which is entitled
according to the present apportion-
ment, to SIX members, east, 1T the
last election about 5000 votes.
Florida, which elects two members,
cast $1,000 votes. South Carolina
and Mississippi, whose united vote ag-
gregated only $1,000, have sixteen
members in the house. Very much
the same inequality might be shown
in the other southern states and in
many Of the northern states, yet Da-
kota is fenced out because, if admit
ted, it would increase the republican
strength in the house. add two more
to the now slender republican ma
jority in the senate and wonld cast its

lician candidates This denial of the
right of admission to Dakota is the

necessary appropriations for improve
ment of the harbor and carrying out
the adopted plan for making pcrman-
ent the piers at the natural entry. In
view of what officers of the engineer
corps have recommended and assisted
to carry out in various parts of the
country, under pretense of river and
harbor improvements, we cannot un-
hesitatingly reject reports that an of
iicer of that corps would antagoniZe
private and public rights in favor of
local or other limited interests, or re-
ports that he would in behalf of such
interests or some pet project commit
his government to IN Improbable and
never ending waste Of It's treasure in
contest with natural laws. The two
points which for ten miles separate
the Bays of Superior aad Alloues
from Lake Superior have undoubtedly
been created by the meeting of river
and lake currents The mouth of the
rivers and entrance to the great natur-
al harbor of Superior was fixed by
the equality of these currents at the
present Superior entrance where be-
fore the government engineers had
done any work OF theirs there was an
easy and safe entrance for vessels
drawing 10 to II feet Since the
Duluth canal was stolen through Min
ncsota Point the north shore lake cur
rent, diverted in part by that canal,
moves down Minnesota Point with
lessened force, while the south shore
current, meeting less resistance at the
river mouth, or Superior entrance,
sweeps on mp Minnesota Point until
Its force is Eeutralized by the dimin
iShed north shore current, and Just
there, about opposite where it is now
proposed 10 open new canal, the
meeting currents have begun the for
nation OF a new point, as is shown by
the rapid shoaling observed in com
parison Of charts OF soundings taken
before and since the opening OF the
/ Duluth canal. Before that the drift
from the rivers ut flood time Was
swept onto the south shore and the
lake drift brought by wind and cur
| rents went to the increase Of tie two
( points. Another opening through
Minnesota Point or dredging il the
harbors to further turn the river nnw
from its natural channel will involve
the government in annually iucrea5-
ing unnecessary expense for rcmov-
| ing the drift OF the currents and for
unending construction OF proper pro-
lection Of the harbnr entrances.
Abandonment Of the old entry would
also he Il great injury and gross injus-
tee to those who thirty years AGO
selected, and settled upon this natural
site for city on the shores of what
nature made the best and largest har-
Dor of all the great lakes,-a work
which engineers may improve if they
/ follow the laws which made the har-
Dor, but ought not to be permitted to
. iajure or destroy.
